Chapter 19

"If I could take away the pain
And put a smile on your face,
Baby, I would, baby, I would" - I would - Justin Bieber

I rolled over in bed and tried to force my eyes open. My whole body aches. I can't breathe out of my nose and I couldn't stop sneezing.

I felt like death.

I heard footsteps coming from the stairs outside of my room and I figured it was Logan or my mom coming to get me up but I could care less because I feel terrible. I guess being out in the cold last night got me sick.

I heard my door creak open, "Zoe, what are you doing still asleep?" It was Logan.

I groan, "I'm getting- ACHOO!- up." I say in between sneezes.

He comes and sits beside me on the bed and puts his hand on my forehead, "You're burning up Zoe. You're sick."

I sneeze, "I'm fine, It's just allergies." I argue.

"No you're not fine. You're not going to school. I'm taking you to the doctor."

I try sitting up but my head starts spinning so I lay back down, "What? No you can't take me to the doctor." I cough, "You have to go to school. I'll be fine here by myself."

He looks at me, "You're really stubborn you know that? I'm taking you to the doctor and that's final." He gets up, "We are leaving in 15 minutes." He leaves and I groan as I get up.

I hate doctors! I have ever since I was a little kid and now Logan is making me go. Remind me to kill him after I feel better.

I saunter down the stairs and Logan sits there, keys in hand. I follow him out of the house and ignore him most of the way to the doctor.

"You're mad at me aren't you?" He asked breaking the silence.

I ignore him. "Okay then, be that way but you'll thank me for this." He continues.

I then thought about my mom and wondered if she even knew Logan was taking me to the doctor. "Does my mom even know you're doing this?" I asked him.

He glanced at me then back to the road, "Yeah I called her to ask. She said that it was fine."

Thanks mom for betraying me. Ugh I don't wanna go to the doctor!!!

We pull up and I sit frozen in my seat. I'm not getting out. I feel myself shake with nervous and I feel like I'm going to throw up. The anxiety I used to get when going to the doctor is coming back.

Logan notices I'm not getting out and he comes over to the passenger side and opens my door. "Don't make me have to drag you in. Not only will that be embarrassing for you but it will be for me too."

"I don't want to go in." I tell him.

He signs, "Look Zoe, i know you don't want to but you need to. You will feel so much better. I promise I'll be by your side the whole time."

"Fine," i grumbled and get out of his car. We walk inside the doctors office and there are sick kids everywhere. I start to feel bad again and Logan told me he would sign me in at the counter so I go sit down in the waiting room.

A few seconds later Logan sits down in the empty seat beside me. He puts his arm around my shoulders and I lean my head on his chest. We sit in silence and I close my eyes to get the bad feeling of being here to go away.

"Zoe Taylor," I perk my head up at the doctors voice calling me. I get up and Logan locks eyes with me. "You want me to go with you?" I nod at his question and he gets up. We follow the nurse to the room.

"Just take a seat and the doctor will be with you soon." The lady says as we enter the room. We sit down on the chairs. I start to shake with nerves again and he puts his arm around me to calm me. "Why do you have such a phobic of doctors?" He chuckles.

I glare at him, "When I was little I got strep throat all the time and I always got shots. I hated them and it kinda scarred me." I explain. "I haven't been sick much since I got my tonsils out when I was 8 years old."

"Well damn now I understand." He says. "But on the bright side, I'm here with you now so if you do happen to get a shot, I'll hold you."

I give him a small smile, "Thanks but I hope I don't have to get a shot."

The doctor comes in and he asks me my symptoms. I tell him and he says he thinks I have the flu. I give him a incredulous look, "I have never had the flu."

"Sorry, Zoe you have it now." The doctor tells me. "I'm going to give you a flu shot so you'll feel better fast."

I stiffen at his words and Logan rubs my arms to comfort me. Tears well up in my eyes and I try to take deep breaths to calm me. I am so terrified of needles!

I scrub the tears away, I don't care if I'm sick I'm not letting Logan see me cry. "It's okay Zo, I'll hold you the whole time." I appreciate Logan being so sweet to me but I really don't want this shot.

The nurse comes in with the shot in her hand and i squirm at the sight of the pointy needle. Logan holds me in place as the nurse pulls up my sleeve on my arm. I bury my face into his chest and he holds me tight against him so I want move. I feel the needle go in my arm and I whimper. "I know princess, it's okay." He whispers. It's over fast and before I know it I'm back into Logan's car.

I still feel really bad and my head was hurting so I decided to shut my eyes for a few minutes.

"Psst Zoe," I feel a light shake and I flutter my eyes open. "Hey we are here. I would carry you in but it's kinda hard with you asleep in the car." Logan says.

I climb out of the car and go lay in my bed. Logan comes in a few minutes later and gives me my medicine and a glass of water. He pulls the covers over me. "Thanks for taking care of me Logan." I thank him.

"No problem, I wanted to make sure you get better." He smiles. "I'll be downstairs if you need me."

He leaves and I close my eyes and fall asleep yet again.

I wake up a few hours later and I see Logan sitting on my desk chair on his phone. He looks up and sees that I'm awake, "Hey, how you feel?"

"Worse." I groan. "My head is pounding." I wince.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could make it stop." He looks around the room, "Do you want me to get you anything?"

I shake my head, "No, you should go home. You've done enough for me and I don't want you to get sick."

He smiles, "Don't worry about me sweetheart. I'm like batman, I don't get sick."

I roll my eyes, "Always have a big ego."

"Go back to sleep pretty girl. I need you better." I blush at his words and take his advice of going to sleep.

I hear get up and exit my room and then sleep overcomes me and I'm out.
